This seminar is open to Chiropractors and Chiropractic students only. Students who are actively enrolled in a course of study leading to a chiropractic qualification may take the entire course. However, one of the seven courses must be taken after they have graduated. A copy of your degree from an accredited chiropractic college must be provided to the senior instructor at the practical exam.

The Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP) seminar series presents practical objective-based solutions for treating the extremities. The seminar series teaches how diagnosis and treatment is made simple through understanding the biomechanical functions of each joint.Chiropractic often stresses the importance of nerve interference in the spine, but neglects that it may also occur in the extremities. This simplified process utilizes muscle tests as indicators for adjusting, providing instant feedback for patients when their strength returns immediately. While these seminars do teach some of the “textbook” information behind the process, the real value is the “hands-on” approach that will teach you how to efficiently implement these methods into your care the next day . . . and with little more than your hands, you can get started without a huge investment.
